WitchCrafts-Sachet


In today’s WitchCraft I’m showing how to make a sachet!
A Sachet is just a fancy name for “bag.” As witches you can hold many of your items in these, such as: runes, tarot cards, stones, herbs etc.
They can even be used for non-witchy purposes. A lot of times you can find these in craft stores to put little gifts in for friends.
In this version you will be sewing it, however, you can make a no sew one simply by using fabric glue or tape.
What you are going to need to make this sachet is:
-fabric
-scissors
-ribbon
-thread and a needle
-pins

So the first step youre going to do is decide how big or small you want the bag.
After that, go ahead and cut a square of fabric out to your desired length. Make sure you leave a few inches all the way around so you can sew the seam. You can always take away extra, you cant add more…….well you can, but its more difficult .
Next pin the edges together-except the top. Start to sew the edges making sure to keep the stitches close together so that your seam is strong.
When you’re done, take your ribbon and line it up about half an inch from the top. Fold down the top of the fabric over the ribbon and pin in place. Continue pinning all around the top, under the ribbon. Take the ribbon out and sew the top seam together. Make sure you leave two openings for the ribbon to slide through.
Flip your bag right side out and thread your ribbon through the holes at the top and Ta-Da youre done!!

here is a step by step video I made showing the process. Let me know if you have any questions!
